What is Salsa Dancing?

Salsa is much more than just a dance style – it's a way of life. Originally emerging in New York in the 1970s, Salsa has deep roots in Afro-Caribbean culture and is heavily influenced by Latin American rhythms. The captivating rhythms and dynamic movements make Salsa one of the most popular dance styles worldwide.

How to Dance Salsa
